1 00:00:25,85 --> 00:00:32,59 It was a quiet country in one hundred forty five I was 2 00:00:32,59 --> 00:00:33,70 here as a war correspondent. 3 00:00:34,50 --> 00:00:38,62 When the Americans came over to accept the surrender of Jap troops below the thirty 4 00:00:38,62 --> 00:00:38,99 eighth Parallel. 5 00:00:45,27 --> 00:00:50,93 I remember how restful the green rice paddies looked the peaceful villages 6 00:00:50,93 --> 00:00:57,83 and towns like Tejon it didn't amount to much like 7 00:00:57,83 --> 00:00:59,30 any small town anywhere 8 00:01:00,10 --> 00:01:06,51 but it was home to these people saw it was different 9 00:01:07,40 --> 00:01:12,72 it was a big town the capital city with one of a half million people 10 00:01:15,73 --> 00:01:16,87 and they were all gays. 11 00:01:17,12 --> 00:01:23,11 So I was celebrating freedom after forty years of Geoffrey of Russian interference 12 00:01:23,11 --> 00:01:26,47 and others are in centuries of Chinese domination. 13 00:01:33,66 --> 00:01:38,98 It was gay for these Americans to every G.I. 14 00:01:38,98 --> 00:01:41,39 Was a symbol of liberation to the natives. 15 00:01:46,71 --> 00:01:48,23 I learned something about Koreans. 16 00:01:48,53 --> 00:01:53,69 I learned of these people so remote from us strange even to their fellow Asiatics 17 00:01:54,48 --> 00:01:58,13 was supposed human beings or want to live in peace and independence. 18 00:02:01,24 --> 00:02:06,17 They took me around the colorful five hundred year old city showed me the buildings 19 00:02:06,17 --> 00:02:13,04 they were proud of the capital the fine arts busy Chung duck 20 00:02:13,04 --> 00:02:19,57 Palace ducks to show sand bank 21 00:02:21,77 --> 00:02:25,30 it was a city of seasons an Oriental blend of the ancient 22 00:02:25,30 --> 00:02:30,48 and modern I remembered it all 23 00:02:30,48 --> 00:02:32,88 when I came back to Korea five years later. 24 00:02:32,93 --> 00:02:36,94 Again as our correspondent again with American 25 00:02:36,94 --> 00:02:39,67 and other United Nations troops bringing liberation. 26 00:02:41,61 --> 00:02:47,09 I was glad I remembered because so much of it was gone the town the public 27 00:02:47,09 --> 00:02:52,66 buildings the people destroyed by war. 28 00:02:56,55 --> 00:02:57,47 This time the liberation 29 00:02:57,47 --> 00:03:07,04 and the before for the heart breaking this 30 00:03:07,05 --> 00:03:09,63 time there was no celebration and OK.D. 31 00:03:12,15 --> 00:03:14,63 Trying to stop paraded in the streets 32 00:03:17,81 --> 00:03:20,53 and the air was filled with bullets fired confetti 33 00:03:25,98 --> 00:03:28,38 for months death and destruction ran amok 34 00:03:28,38 --> 00:03:33,66 and Korea War is a wanton destroyer of property and lives. 35 00:03:35,11 --> 00:03:41,53 The shattered body this burning heart a tragic symbols of the havoc war creates 36 00:03:44,77 --> 00:03:51,00 even men of goodwill must fight fire with fire was killed destroyed to bring a 37 00:03:51,00 --> 00:03:52,91 swift end to the death of destruction. 38 00:04:00,00 --> 00:04:02,23 Our soldiers learn early however 39 00:04:02,23 --> 00:04:04,88 that in this battle there were terrorists savagery 40 00:04:04,88 --> 00:04:11,78 but these were their comrades in arms prisoners of the communists shop with their 41 00:04:11,78 --> 00:04:16,47 hands tied behind their backs when this was ten. 42 00:04:16,47 --> 00:04:20,03 John when our contra tracking forces breaking out of that was on the bridge 43 00:04:20,03 --> 00:04:21,61 and we took the town 44 00:04:21,61 --> 00:04:28,16 that was a stage on which raised the level of Manila was on 45 00:04:30,88 --> 00:04:31,69 these men women 46 00:04:31,69 --> 00:04:35,99 and children were not killed accidentally in the heat of battle they were murdered 47 00:04:36,85 --> 00:04:37,84 in cold blooded place. 48 00:04:37,93 --> 00:04:44,51 Deliberately butchered to 49 00:04:44,51 --> 00:04:49,69 spread terror to warn the survivors of the if you didn't let the communist monster 50 00:04:49,69 --> 00:04:56,43 swallow you alive he'd rather have you dead in the heart of Tejon was only a 51 00:04:56,43 --> 00:05:03,14 pale reflection of saw where a great city the heart of a nation was ravaged 52 00:05:06,27 --> 00:05:09,54 brilliant leadership and the hammer blows about the great fighting 53 00:05:11,71 --> 00:05:15,49 and the Air Force 54 00:05:19,28 --> 00:05:19,41 Army 55 00:05:21,99 --> 00:05:28,88 and Marines working with other United Nations forces the spine of a North 56 00:05:28,88 --> 00:05:35,14 Korean aggression the enemy was paralyzed by the communist fanaticism was the time 57 00:05:35,14 --> 00:05:35,25 and 58 00:05:35,25 --> 00:05:44,60 that of a miscarriage is destroying what is devouring these brave men. 59 00:05:46,38 --> 00:05:52,60 Slaughtering the innocents ruining wrecking 60 00:05:53,49 --> 00:05:59,91 laying waste the public buildings at the side of the nerve. 61 00:06:00,00 --> 00:06:04,41 Center of this capital city was gutted shells scooped out by fire 62 00:06:04,41 --> 00:06:10,81 and explosion the factories became funeral pyre this poverty stricken people's 63 00:06:10,81 --> 00:06:17,30 heart one hopes for economic better these ashes where our receipt for the hundreds 64 00:06:17,30 --> 00:06:18,56 of millions of dollars. 65 00:06:19,33 --> 00:06:23,22 The years a patient teaching of industrial techniques we lavished here 66 00:06:29,09 --> 00:06:35,61 but saw was not unique any more than ten John our troops advancing from north 67 00:06:35,61 --> 00:06:40,88 and south found that only the place names were different story. 68 00:06:40,92 --> 00:06:47,48 I want you shunned you must post 69 00:06:50,23 --> 00:06:54,28 to show young piano 70 00:06:57,02 --> 00:07:02,38 burning farms shattered homes blasted shops 71 00:07:05,59 --> 00:07:13,26 and everywhere laid up murdered dead. 72 00:07:14,54 --> 00:07:19,10 The scenery of destruction is monotonous atrocity stories keep repeating themselves. 73 00:07:23,80 --> 00:07:28,35 How can I tell you what can I show you are the tens of thousand human beings 74 00:07:28,35 --> 00:07:35,20 slaughtered in so perhaps it isn't exactly ten 75 00:07:35,20 --> 00:07:38,64 thousand perhaps the total for here right now is approximately 76 00:07:39,73 --> 00:07:46,35 that makes any difference in time we'll get a 77 00:07:46,35 --> 00:07:51,98 careful tabulation will learn the exact number of the slaughtered down to the last 78 00:07:51,98 --> 00:07:58,79 course of course some atrocities will not be counted at all 79 00:07:58,79 --> 00:07:59,95 because they were pro. 80 00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:06,66 Traded on the living atrocities of the spirit the heartbreak 81 00:08:11,09 --> 00:08:16,94 the shattered families the broken 82 00:08:16,94 --> 00:08:23,69 or by all the dead however will be certified by the United Nations Commission 83 00:08:23,69 --> 00:08:26,80 on Korea each case will be thoroughly documented 84 00:08:28,69 --> 00:08:33,38 but doubters of the cynics the hardboiled sophisticates a scoff at the stories of 85 00:08:33,38 --> 00:08:34,98 the coward book aloud 86 00:08:34,98 --> 00:08:38,54 and call it propaganda I will be able to check their record if they wish 87 00:08:43,62 --> 00:08:45,85 the slayers of our soldier dead. 88 00:08:45,86 --> 00:08:49,67 One out of every twenty Americans were killed as prisoners of war will be 89 00:08:49,67 --> 00:08:51,74 remorselessly tracked down wherever possible 90 00:08:51,74 --> 00:08:58,15 and brought the judged by one of the greatest atrocity of all the 91 00:08:58,15 --> 00:08:59,62 instigation of this one. 92 00:09:01,81 --> 00:09:05,42 One of the cynical murderous order what kind of a for they have 93 00:09:08,93 --> 00:09:10,14 this need never fear. 94 00:09:13,32 --> 00:09:17,72 These On a day need never have sacrificed their lives for American honor 95 00:09:17,72 --> 00:09:18,58 and good faith 96 00:09:27,13 --> 00:09:33,66 the city these home need never have been destroyed. 97 00:09:37,28 --> 00:09:43,63 These primitive North Koreans these misguided never been led to the slaughter 98 00:09:48,21 --> 00:09:51,53 their minds and emotions set ablaze by false promises 99 00:09:51,53 --> 00:09:56,75 and giant alliances provided by those who would make all mankind and dupes. 100 00:09:56,87 --> 00:09:59,03 That will last for world control. 101 00:10:02,47 --> 00:10:05,80 This communist imperialism is the real revenue. 102 00:10:07,11 --> 00:10:14,02 It's crime in Korea was a mistake a costly one not for them for us 103 00:10:17,52 --> 00:10:23,83 we paid and the people of Korea paid. 104 00:10:24,67 --> 00:10:27,15 Because we refused to see the criminal threat 105 00:10:37,66 --> 00:10:40,87 oldest skill 106 00:10:43,50 --> 00:10:46,14 and fighting hard into the thread in Korea 107 00:10:54,59 --> 00:10:59,20 but the criminal is still at large example tied for aggression on a peace. 108 00:11:01,14 --> 00:11:07,16 There must not be others in our land there will not be as long as we remain 109 00:11:07,16 --> 00:11:11,58 vigilant the strong not only these men 110 00:11:13,70 --> 00:11:15,87 but all of us the civilians. 111 00:11:15,94 --> 00:11:18,43 The citizens the workers 112 00:11:18,43 --> 00:11:24,93 and taxpayers the cost will not be 113 00:11:24,93 --> 00:11:31,74 small the Liberty is never cheap the price we pay will be by going to insurance 114 00:11:31,74 --> 00:11:34,61 however of a prevent more of this. 115 00:11:38,63 --> 00:11:43,35 Let us not forget this for our sake as well as for the rest of the world 116 00:11:45,75 --> 00:11:50,56 if we value our lives our homes and our freedoms. 117 00:11:51,87 --> 00:11:58,12 Let us remember the Right around. 118 00:12:13,31 --> 00:12:18,31 My name is Eric Dunst and I have seen the crime of Korea. 119 00:12:19,43 --> 00:12:22,46 I don't like when I don't imagine that you like what you saw 120 00:12:22,46 --> 00:12:25,08 and heard them thoughts. 121 00:12:25,09 --> 00:12:29,62 None of us likes war all the terrible cars and disaster that war brings. 122 00:12:30,31 --> 00:12:35,77 And I saw a time I wanted to do something I wanted to do something that counted 123 00:12:35,77 --> 00:12:38,18 that helps. And I want to do it now. 124 00:12:39,64 --> 00:12:42,62 I suppose that's a natural reaction for any American 125 00:12:43,60 --> 00:12:47,50 when we Americans see something we don't like something we believe is wrong. 126 00:12:47,89 --> 00:12:52,46 Something we consider a crime against mankind. We want to act. 127 00:12:53,63 --> 00:12:55,18 We want to put a stop to what's wrong. 128 00:12:56,57 --> 00:12:59,68 That's the kind of people we are our fighting men. 129 00:13:00,11 --> 00:13:05,65 You are fighting men in Korea have been doing this part for many months for so many 130 00:13:05,65 --> 00:13:12,01 long months but what about the rest of us the fighting aggression 131 00:13:12,01 --> 00:13:13,20 and the threat of aggression. 132 00:13:13,47 --> 00:13:18,29 Doesn't the job just for our soldiers our sailors our Marines in our airmen. 133 00:13:19,31 --> 00:13:23,42 It's our job to because our security our freedom 134 00:13:23,42 --> 00:13:28,35 and our lives depend upon this nation's ability to meet aggression. 135 00:13:28,48 --> 00:13:35,08 Wherever it may strike our ability to hold aggression anywhere here perhaps will 136 00:13:35,09 --> 00:13:37,21 depend on how rapidly. 137 00:13:37,22 --> 00:13:38,91 Our affectively we really are 138 00:13:38,91 --> 00:13:44,81 and become strong again we must be ready for it at any moment. 139 00:13:44,83 --> 00:13:50,18 We can all work in defense plants we can't build guns and planes and ships 140 00:13:50,18 --> 00:13:54,14 and tanks. Nor can very many of us serve in the armed forces 141 00:13:55,40 --> 00:13:58,95 but we can take a part in the national defense program. 142 00:14:00,00 --> 00:14:04,88 All of us can and all of us must share the responsibility for making 143 00:14:04,88 --> 00:14:11,86 and keeping this country strong a vital part of our strengths is the strength 144 00:14:11,86 --> 00:14:17,00 of our economy the strength and the power of the dollars we spend 145 00:14:17,00 --> 00:14:23,70 and save each of us can share in two jobs paying as we go for our 146 00:14:23,70 --> 00:14:26,47 arsenal defense and building as we go. 147 00:14:26,72 --> 00:14:32,15 The strength of our dollars by buying defense bonds not just one 148 00:14:32,15 --> 00:14:37,33 but as many as we care by signing on the payroll savings plan 149 00:14:38,02 --> 00:14:39,19 and by doing it now. 150 00:14:40,44 --> 00:14:45,94 Right now it's passed through I saw the film you have just seen a film 151 00:14:45,94 --> 00:14:50,23 that shows exactly what is taking place in Korea a film 152 00:14:50,23 --> 00:14:55,87 that could be typical of other communist aggression anywhere anytime I was glad 153 00:14:55,87 --> 00:14:58,91 that I could buy defense bonds and in 154 00:14:58,91 --> 00:15:05,50 that way help to fight communist aggression fighting with bombs today can help 155 00:15:05,50 --> 00:15:10,18 prevent crimes like the crime of Korea from taking place elsewhere 156 00:15:10,18 --> 00:15:16,34 and even here tomorrow.
